don't say that. appreciate every minute of it. cause one day some government motherfucker is going to subject you to random drug tests twice a month for two years. then you'll be wishing every minute of your existence you could do drugs.

Too bad, Steve rocks. On one side he gave the band a great live presense. But then again, the band has gotten by on one trombone player before (that guy being Rich Balling though, who was like a fucking one man band, how much he would put into sets).

Oh yeah, and the new cd rocks. I downloaded an unmastered incomplete copy and was stil blown away. I'm thinking of just buying it online, since I doubt MDB will reach Best Buy shelves in oct....

Also, as much as i love to hear the sax, he hasn't gotten a whole lot to do the past two albums. RxB seems to like "the bone" (sorry, nobody calls it that). They'll probably get another trombone if anything at all.

i snuck out of college orientation at Temple so i could see the show at the TLA on monday night

I can't believe he's leaving the band!!! i just saw him!!!! (4 times now)
they were amazing. they had like a 10 minute 4-man drum solo at one point, and the new cd is fucking outta control. i hope he finishes out the tour, i plan on seeing them again tomorrow night

i strongly urge anyone even thinkin about it to go down to one of their shows. holy shit.

actually, it COULD be a solo. a solo doesnt necessarily have to mean only one person is playing it. it could just all just one type of instrument playing at once. for instance, dualing guitar solos? faggot.

Just got the new album in the mail today and I have to say it is amazing. A looser, jammier feel (althought no jam outros) yet more progressive. More ok a ska feel than the previous album. I'm sure it'll grow on me like crazy but so far its as good if not loads better than the resignation; the loose, live recording style takes some getting used to.
